Thankee ma'am. :-P

Your appreciation is appreciated fer'shur. Unfortunately, I was not

able to get what I wanted last year .. I got 1/3 of what I wanted. I

was shooting for a metric ton .. hoping for 500 kilos .. and got 350.

 

Quality Turkish Rose Hydrosol .. that is .. Hydrosol that has not been

adulterated with 50% or more of distilled water .. is not a product

one can bargain for anymore .. its a seller's market. I remember days

past when barrels I purchased cost me more than the product in the barrel.

 

Of course, as is so with any product that is heavy but inexpensive ..

the lion's share of the cost is in the international and domestic

shipping .. plus the Humma-Humma one goes through to get it cleared at

the entry port. I recently bought over 35 kilos of fairly costly EO

from England and approximately the same volume of fairly inexpensive

Rose Wax from Turkey .. but the international shipping costs from the

gate of the producer's warehouse to the front door of my store were

approximately the same. Customs Clearance and domestic forwarding

costs were identical.

 

I'm going to talk about shipping costs a bit more in the next post. I

want to keep the subjects in an order that they can be easily

retrieved from the archive .. so hang on y'all. ;-)
